Do you have sources for that? As far as I know VLC has actually always been famous for supporting basically every format.

ffmpeg supports every format. ffmpeg wrappers don't need add much value in order to also do this.

(Lots of corner cases apply and VLC developers do assist ffmpeg, host a conference, etc.)
